Make Life Blossom

20 Spectacular Reasons to Get Organized, Toss Clutter & Spring Clean

Spring has officially arrived.

I’m hearing tales from friends all over the US that daffodils have begun to poke their heads up and that spring showers (and storms) have begun to bring needed moisture for the growth of later spring blooms. In the first few weeks of spring, I find myself embracing fresh breezes, admiring early and delicate blooms, and longing for the first local asparagus.

At home, you’ll find me embracing some true spring rituals. Opening the windows to allow fresh air to bathe the house with the freshness of spring as it replaces the cooped up smells of winter. Placing cut flowers in vases all over the house to bring in some brightness. And cleaning nooks and crannies, like the fridge and the baseboards. It’s also time to drag the lawn chairs out of the basement and put ‘em on the porch so we can enjoy the beauty of the earth as it comes alive.

You’ll also find me digging back into de-cluttering my spaces.

De-cluttering your physical space is the perfect beginning to nourish the bloom of spring within your heart and home.

It also brings me an amazing peace of mind and boosts my productivity and creativity!
